Whatever update to arts was placed in the testing-proposed-updates
repository suggested by the last poster works perfectly to solve the

Arch: i686, `uname-r` = 2.6.24-1-686
Lenny, with all updates as of April 2, 22:42PST including those from the
testing-proposed-updates repository.
My error was identical to the first poster, to the character.
